I saw Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) and it was as if he was blind due to humility. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 7/199]

Baqiyyah Ibnul Waleed (rahimahullaah) said:

”Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) said to me: ”O Baqiyyah! Do not mention any of the companions of your Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) except with good. Knowledge is that which has been narrated from the companions of Muhammad (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam), and that which has not been narrated from them is not knowledge.” [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 7/120]

Baqiyyah Ibnul Waleed Bin Yazeed (rahimahullaah) said:

Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) said: Love of Uthmaan and Ali (radiyallaahu-anhumaa) is not gathered except in the heart of a believer. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa: 7/120]

Muhammad Bin Katheer Al-Maseesee (rahimahullaah) said:

I heard Al-Awzaa’ee saying: The Taa’bi’een were widespread, whilst we used to say that Allaah is above His Throne and we believe in the Attributes of (Allaah) transmitted in the Sunnah. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa:7/121]

Al-Waleed Bin Mazeed (rahimahullaah) said:

I heard Al-Awzaa’ee (rahimahullaah) saying: If Allaah wishes evil for a people, he opens for them the door of argumentation and prevents them from action. [Siyar A’laam Nubulaa:7/121]
